Submit: Shakespeare's Works

Mar 19, 2006 12:35

The theme for week eighty-six is Shakespeare's Works. You may submit one CLAMP icon as long as it features the title of one of William Shakespeare's plays or poems.

You must use the full title as is, please don't leave out words, including 'the' or 'a' if applicable. However, you can replace the word 'and' with the & symbol. You cannot include any additional text (even lines from the play/poem), though I will allow tiny text as long as it is there for decoration and is not legible. Please be sure to check your spelling before submitting to make sure there are no typos.

For those not familiar with his works here are some of the titles available. Anything in brackets is an alternate title, you can use either version. I referred to The Unabridged William Shakespeare book I received for Christmas a while back in order to compile this list, but it's possible I left something out or made an error somewhere, so do ask if you think something is missing/inaccurate.

* Both these plays have multiple parts, but I didn't think it was necessary to divide the titles as such for the purpose of this challenge

** Technically speaking the Sonnets are broken down into separate pieces, but since they don't really have titles and are generally referred to by Roman numeral or the first line of text, I figure we can just group them all under this common title since that's how my edition works

Aside from that everything is up to you to interpret and find the perfect imagery to match your chosen title. The theme may be a bit more challenging but do be creative and have some good Ye Olde English fun.

Please submit your icon by uploading it to an outside host that allows direct linking, then leave a screened comment to this post with your icon's img src, url, series and character names as well as your chosen title. This information makes my job easier so please follow this example.
